@CFCms3 The day caicedo begins to play like Rice, we might have a chance to win games. Believe it or not, caicedo is part of Chelsea's problem
English
@B03GHB4L1 He’s definitely an attacking 8. Feel bad for him because whatever club he ends up at he’s playing as a 6

Made a quick little grid on the current top list of candidates, explanations for the sections below.

crazy what happens when you give them a competent 3rd midfielder who can cover their limitations
Tobes@TobyEvenden
Enzo and Caicedo in particular have just dominated this game but the running im seeing is hilarious as a side, they did not want that manager 😂
English
@Criss_Crossv2 I think he’s better than the other in league managers like Iraola and Howe but he isn’t better than a Alonso, Hoeneß, or Fabregas
English
I don’t want him at all but is Glasner a dark horse for the Chelsea job? Surprised his name hasn’t been mentioned really
English
@thechelskikid @RealRambo_ @B03GHB4L1 He’s the most experienced for sure but his biggest issue is that he never coach attacking possession style football. I do think he scales up the best compared to Iraola or Silva
English
@MonkeyCFC_ @RealRambo_ @B03GHB4L1 Glasner won the Europa League and is in the SF of the Conference League. I think he is quite used to European football! 😏

If rice is a “bricklayer” then I dread to know what this dude has been these last few months
Dezildez@Dezildezzzz
Pressured by 1 player, ask yourself what Rodri or Bernardo would have done in this situation 9/10 times? This sometimes is simply the difference, it's an individual quality issue and a playing style issue. It's the whole teams approach to ball retention.
English
But because my name isn’t “LiberoZino” I got cooked
Zino@cfczin0
The Rice conundrum is absolutely hilarious how do you accommodate for a player that’s a great ball carrier ball striker and is great defensively but is poor under pressure that can’t operate in pockets well and isn’t an incisive passer in the final third
English
@ChicagoDmitry Tbf strasbourg did rest majority of their main guys to focus on coupe de france and the conference league
English
@jabbawovk It suits the midfield better as well. Caicedo and Enzo as the 8s and whoever at the 6 is our best midfield.
English
Needs to be like that going forward
Palmer is not a #10 he's a Wingfielder
.@jimbycfc
Palmer RW & 3 man midfield to end the season imo Need him out of the 10 for now. Physically he’s non existent there atm & he’s not impacting the game offensively Just give him a runner in gusto on the outside & keep it simple
English
@ReubenMUFC @aliftbll2 High lines are for sure a big issue but also i don’t get why premier league clubs keep buying these second strikers if they never play with two strikers. Its honestly a waste of funds.
English
@MonkeyCFC_ @aliftbll2 Tbf with Havertz his main issue is his growth spert made him lose alot of his tek. The main issue from buying forwards in Germany is that most Bundesliga teams play high lines which is very different to the Prem where most teams sit back and you have much less space.
English
Premtards are a special breed
LFCJ @NOTLFCJ__
I won’t hear about some “Diomande” when Minteh is doing it in the exact league we play in
English
@ReubenMUFC @aliftbll2 After leaving Chelsea they still have been misprofiled, Arteta has used Havertz as a midfielder and as a standalone 9. Nkunku has been used as a winger and also a standalone 9. The issue with buying forwards from germany isnt their ability its their profile.
English
@MonkeyCFC_ @aliftbll2 Neither of those players have blown the world away since they left Chelsea
English
@ReubenMUFC @aliftbll2 Playing out of position. Same situation with Frimpong, he’s clearly a wingback and Liverpool bought him to play rb in a back four ofc he’s gonna underperform. If anything it just shows how bad prem scouts are, bc why are they buying these players just to play them out of position
English
@ReubenMUFC @aliftbll2 Alot of these players were quality but were misprofiled. Havertz and nkunku are both second strikers. They play best when they can play off a traditional striker. When they came to the prem chelsea played both as a standalone 9, ofc they are going to underperform when they are…
English
@B03GHB4L1 Have palmer and steve battle for rw and buy a 6 in the summer
English
We do not have the pivot pairing to support a poor dueler at #10, this should be common knowledge by now
Steva 🇧🇷@CFC_Steva
Palmer Estevao Neto J.Pedro I'm I the only one who is thinking this?
